WHY WE READ

A keepsake book of quotations—astute,
profound, witty, and sweet—on the magic of
reading, paired with bright illustrations by Ellen
Surrey. A collection of what everyone who’s
ever fallen in love with a book knows to be true:
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse,
a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a
multitude of counselors (Charles Baudelaire).
Fifty-three quotations from Victor Hugo to JK
Rowling; Ralph Waldo Emerson to Roald Dahl;
Malcom X to Annie Dillard.
